Not at all the same , Velociraptor. The facebook thing was about bosses getting your password to look at PRIVATE info on your facebook. This man posted these comments PUBLICLY. See the difference there? He is also a police officer and has a code of conduct to follow that he failed to adhere to. Comparing these two things is just silly. It leads me to think you know this and are just trying to get people angry. That or you're just that ignorant.

Heed your own advice AlgiersMama... The article says they arrested a 17 year old and that Allen was 18 at the time.

"The NOPD also made an arrest at Allen's address in December 2010. In a press release at the time, the agency said that it had arrested a "known 17-year-old juvenile" for being a principal to a purse snatching at that address. Allen would have been 18 at the time of that arrest."
